Farmers to prepare model election manifesto

Farmers are planning to chart their requirements and compile a model election manifesto for political parties to consider.

The model manifesto will be released ahead of the parties making their poll promises public, according to the Federation of Tamil Nadu Agriculturalists Association secretary C. Nallasami.

Addressing the media here on Saturday Mr. Nallasami pointed out that farmers, whether they were raising food crops or cash crops, were facing hardship all through the year.

From rising costs of agricultural inputs to inadequate remunerative prices for their produce, farmers have been languishing in neglect for several decades now, he said.

Mr. Nallasami, who is also the Coordinator of the Tamil Nadu Toddy Movement, urged the parties to provide succour and relief to lakhs of palmyrah and coconut growers by announcing and supporting toddy tapping.
